My Years of Cross-Dressing at a Nobles' Academy

[The story is complete] [The next story is open for preorders: "Gossiping and Slacking Off on a Variety Show Full of Villains"] [Story blurb] Xia Wan transmigrated into an old-school Mary Sue school romance novel, becoming the cannon-fodder female supporting character engaged to the male lead, F1. F1 disliked her for getting in the way because he liked the heroine. F2 disliked her for being an extra because he had a secret crush on the heroine. F3 thought she was a nuisance because he needed the heroine. F4... was still studying abroad as an exchange student and wouldn't appear for a while. To avoid becoming universally hated later on, on the first day at her new school, Xia Wan stood at the podium and introduced herself: "Hi, everyone. I'm Xia Wan's twin brother!" * The System told Xia Wan there were two ways to survive: win F4's love or their friendship. Without hesitation, Xia Wan chose friendship. On her first day pretending to be a boy, Xia Wan was caught badmouthing F1's pathetic excuse for soccer skills with F3. In her third month pretending to be a boy, she and F1 and F3 were caught at an unlicensed massage parlor during a vice crackdown and taken to the police station. When F2 came to bail them out, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot. In her fourth month pretending to be a boy, Xia Wan got drunk and spent an hour enthusiastically dancing with stray dogs in front of F4. She exhausted three dogs by herself and became infamous in the neighborhood as a canine's worst nightmare. Xia Wan: ... How did things end up like this? Well, she'd already lost all her dignity, so Xia Wan decided to give up and coast. But then she noticed that these people's looks had started to become more and more strange.

Preorder story: "Gossiping and Slacking Off on a Variety Show Full of Villains" The variety show "The Most Hated Her and Him" has the six most disliked celebrities, as voted by netizens and a hundred industry professionals, take part together. The show became a huge hit as soon as it aired, and netizens exclaimed that they'd never seen such a malicious variety show. The day before filming officially began, Shang Lu suddenly realized that the world she lived in was a book, and she was a wicked supporting character, as well as the female lead of this variety show: the number one most hated female celebrity among netizens. Shang Lu's response: Great! VIP viewing area unlocked! * During a game, Shang Lu won the right to choose her room first. The spoiled star said haughtily, "Hey, switch rooms with me." Everyone thought a catfight was about to break out, but Shang Lu smiled and said, "Fifty thousand a night. Twenty percent off for three nights. WeChat or Alipay?" The spoiled star: "?" A domineering actress deliberately stole Shang Lu's camera time. Shang Lu calmly took a mask made specially with the actress's face from her bag and put it on. "It's you. Don't worry, you'll be in every shot that airs." The actress: "..." A hot-tempered idol and an aloof heartthrob nearly came to blows. The production crew hurriedly asked Shang Lu to break it up. Instead, Shang Lu started commentating excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we're now bringing you the annual boxing championship! The loser will be disfigured and forced to leave the entertainment industry!" The two who had been about to fight: "..." The viewers: ... We thought we were the ones here for the drama, but Shang Lu seems to be having even more fun than us. After one outrageous stunt after another, everyone assumed Shang Lu must have become public enemy number one, but... At some point, the attitudes of these fearless troublemakers from the entertainment industry had all become rather strange. The domineering actress proactively asked Shang Lu for advice on how to portray her new role; The aloof male heartthrob stood in line under the blazing sun for three hours to buy Shang Lu a limited-edition cake; The spoiled star and the short-tempered male idol nearly fought over the chance to go to an amusement park with Shang Lu the next day. Even the sharp-tongued director, famous in the industry for his exacting standards for acting, publicly said: "It would be an honor if Shang Lu agreed to play the lead in my movie." The haters: ??? Weren't you all supposed to be villains? Why have you become Shang Lu's fan club? This makes no sense! Later, they discovered that Shang Lu had even more secret "fans." The phone wallpaper of the heir to the top-tier Chi family was exposed. It was a photo of a seven-year-old Shang Lu standing on a little boy's bottom. When asked why, Chi Yan calmly asked in return, "Isn't it obvious? It's because I'm in love with her." Everyone else: ?!! Wait... wasn't that little boy Chi Yan himself? And what happened to this being a secret crush? That wedding ring on your hand is blinding us!
